Using Solo C and 8505 together.

[StereoLogic]

I have heard people make some sick ass tones with the two of these bad boys together, so I first decided to try Solo C. I use the full stack version, throw in my 2 impulses, and wow, this already sounds much better then using amplitube metal with voxengo for sure. Tweak the settings around, and damn I'm pretty happy with this sound, and I don't feel the need to use sonic maximizers anymore. Just because I can never stay happy enough with one tone or program or anything for that matter for too long, I decided to try throwing 8505 into the mix because I've seen a lot of people doing this in the rate my tone thread. I don't quite get it... if solo C is your amp sim, do you just load 8505 into a second guitar track ? or in the same fx loop ? Im using reaper, maybe I'm putting it in the wrong spot in the chain ? Any tips for using the two together would be a huge help.

Thanks in advanced ladies and gentlemen.

I guess Dandelium started this, he found out that it actually sounds quite good to use SoloC
as a boost for 8505 (instead of a Tubescreamer). Try this: Load SoloC (I'd suggest the preamp
version), just leave it at stock settings and then add 8505 (on the same track) and after that
some impulse (for example fabulous s-preshigh )

and what would you use to load that impulse?

Boogex, because it's free

Yup, Boogex fucking rules, just turn all four knobs under the "Amplifier" section all the way down, load your impulse, and I personally prefer the sound of HP/LP'ing using ReaEQ (rather than the default HP/LP in Boogex)

Same here, maybe because it's pre-impulse? Just a wild guess

Thanks, I will get Boogex. I actually had the same question of the user who created this thread

That very well may be! I never realized it was pre-impulse

No need to get Boogex now that LeCab is out!!!!

LePou brings the fucking ownage with LeCab!

Got it yesterday, it's nice.

I found another Tube Screamer other than TSS, t'was in this 'Guitar Suite' thing on KVR with a JCM900 sim:

Tried this TS and the JCM900 with LeCab (w/ only catharsis' s-preshigh impulse) and it was not too bad at all.

If I'm correct, that JCM900 already has the cab sim into the plug-in, you don't need to use another one. But the sad part is that you can't change the cab type from the JCM900... it's fixed. (I may be wrong! )

See this site for some nice GUI for the guitarsuite vst:

Is it only me who feels it's a shame using SoloC as a "pedal" ? It's a really good ampsim and deserves better hehe

I prefer the sound of SoloC to the 8505, I think its tight as fuck, kinda like my Savage!

Better than loose & flubby like yer Recto...err, I mean, Mom's





















...but that's ok, you can always cram a tubescreamer up her arse to tighten her up too

Amazing, the power of those little green pedals!
